Ribbon Jello

First layer: 2 small boxes lime gelatin
2 ½ c. boiling hot water

Mix well and pour into a 13 x 9 enamel or glass pan and let stand in refrigerator until firm.

Second layer: ½ c. pineapple juice (from crushed pineapple below)
1 c. mini marshmallows
1 small box lemon gelatin
½ c. boiling hot water
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 - 20 oz. can crushed pineapple, drained
1 c. heavy whipping cream, whipped (sweetened with sugar)

Heat pineapple juice and marshmallows in a pot until the marshmallows melt. Dissolve gelatin in hot water then mix with the juice/marshmallow mixture. Add cream cheese and beat with an egg beater until well blended. Stir in pineapple and cool slightly. Fold in whipped cream. When cool, pour over the first layer and let stand in refrigerator until firm.

Third layer: 2 boxes red gelatin (cherry or raspberry—or one box each)
